*grins* We got to see the $300 Lego model of the Millennium Falcon all put together in its full glory. It was astonishing, every porthole, firing pod, and antenna in place. Whooie.
But I couldn't quite get the gumption up to get that. *laughs*
My job was worthwhile 'cause it smoothed the way for a lot of people, and, for me, because it took every scrap of energy I had to do it really, really well. It was probably the first time I felt that all my strengths were being used to their utmost. It used my writing abilities, my communication and language abilities, so much that I couldn't write anything when I got home. As much as it took, it also gave me a ton of self-esteem and self-identity... which, I'm finding, is a different kind of loss now.
